LIVELY BASKETBALL
CONTEST YESTERDAY
Blacks, Greens and Blues Succeed
in Winning Before Enthusiastic Crowd.
The Friday Echo must humbly
apologize for its inability to furnish more complete accounts of
the three rattling good games
played in the gymnasium yesterday by our basketball teams. The
Blacks, with R. Porter, Barrett,
Cox, W. Porter and Stevens in
the points, were able to put a victory over on the winning Purples
to the tune of 13 to 11. The interests of the Purples were carefully looked after by the veterans Bornstein, Woodruff, Henshaw, Pettiford and Grisso, who
in spite of good playing were defeated.
The Red-Green contest went to
the latter with a score of 33 to
16. Hamilton and Jones were the
particularly bright stars of this
contest. Recker was the only one
of the Reds able to cage a field
goal.
In the Blue-White game, Born
was able to put three markers
into the basket. Whitman of the
Blues and Ludlow of the Whites
were also able to tally once each.
The final score stood 20 to 11 in
favor of the Blues.
All three games were warmly
contested and furnished good
sport for the rooters, who were
present in goodly numbers.
Physiography Club Meets.
At the meeting of the Physiography Club yesterday, Miss
Ross discussed in a very instructive manner the topic "The
throat of a volcano." Alpha
Bramlett described "Snake River
Canyon." The subject "Lava
sheets of the Columbian plateau"
was discussed by Margaret
Dodds. Archie Scott made an
experiment illustrating volcanic
action and how it was caused by
the accumulation of gases. It was
decided by the club to take a trip
to the Indianapolis Water Works
plant on Saturday, December 4.
Chess and Checkers Club.
The girls' section of the Chess
and Checkers Club met in Room
60 at conference yesterday.
There was a large attendance.
The members are becoming enthusiastic as the tournament is
nearly over. Olivea Shad, Frances Schaub, Geraldine Stevens,
Florence Stanley and Ruth Mc-
Comiskey are ahead in the tournament so far.

Drawing of Kahn Building on
Exhibition.
The Art Department is greatly
indebted to Mr. Bohn, of the firm
of architects, VonnegSt & Bohn,
for the Joan, for a few days, of
the original drawiiTg in color of
the new Kahn building, which is
being erected on the corner of
Washington and Meridian
streets. The picture is 26x44
inches and a perfect example of
good prospective as well as fine
proportion.
The drawing is a plan for a
ten-story building with the main
entrance on Meridian street. It
is drawn on toned paper~and col-J
ored with tempora paint, showing the white stone sides with
green metal work.
An interesting part of the
drawing consists in the small
sketches of people and the vehicles and traffic on the street.
Every construction line is
drawn with mathematical precision, the scale being 3-16 inches
to the foot, and can be clearly
seen in the picture.
The school is fortunate in being able to see so fine a drawing,
and every student, whether he is
taking drawing or not, should
not miss this chance of seeing it.
The picture is on exhibition in
Room 69, where it can be seen by
all teachers and students.
Mr. Watson went to Greencas-
tle last Saturday to attend "Old
Gold" Day.
ENJOYABLE MEETING
OF GERMAN CLUB
Membership Contest Planned—
Secretary-Treasurer Elected
Music and Reading.
The German Club was called
to order in Room 7 at conference
yesterday by the President, Frieda Steinman. The business on
hand was the election of a secretary-treasurer. A motion to have
that office filled by a boy was
carried, and as Alexander Cav-
ins was the only boy there he was
duly elected. In order to enlarge
the number of members it was
decided to divide the club into
two sides, each to have a leader,
and also that a prize would be
presented to the winning side by
the losing side at the Christmas
party. The contest will close two
days before the party. The leaders of the sides are Meta Schulmeyer and A. Cavins.
The club was then entertained
by a violin solo by Florence Jeup,
with a piano accompaniment by
Beatrice Luse. After this a German fairy tale, "Zwerg Nase",
was read by Beatrice Luse. She
first explained it in English, and
then read it in German. To. finish
the afternoon another violin solo
was given, after which the meeting stood adjourned.
The club meets every third
week on Thursday, and the dues
are fifteen cents each meeting.
German Ill's and IV's are eligible ; their attendance in full force
will make the meetings only more
enjoyable.

industries of the city.
Joseph Buck met with an accident yesterday on his way to
